Former F1 and current NASCAR star Juan-Pablo Montoya hits out at former employers Ron Dennis and McLaren-Mercedes for taking the sport too seriously and wanting drivers to be like 'robots'.

I have always liked Montoya, as a racer. But now that he has gone to Nascar, for whatever reason, I wish he''d just shut up and stop criticising F1. If he didn''t like it fine.

Of course F1 is supposed to be a sport, and of course everyone takes it seriously. They all want to win. It''s not rocket science. If he can''t take it seriously, then maybe he didn''t really belong there in the first place.

I love how Montoya has spoke out against F1 since going to America. It has it's head so far up it's own ass. Sure teams should take their racing seriously, but they act like some kind of elite society keeping the fans at several arms length. Nascar and most other forms of motorsport are so much more fan friendly not to mention more exciting to watch.

Montoya, oh dear... I think the burgers and cola have gone to his head.

F1 is a tough and highly charged sport AND business. With sponsors paying millions every year you have to give it 100% commitment all the time if you want to be successful - which probably explains why JPM flopped big time. If he dislikes F1 so much why can't he talk about anything else?!? Just move on.

This guy was my favourite driver in F1 when he was around. He had BIG balls, was very quick and wasn't afraid to call a spade a spade!

He's publicly said F1's over for him and that part of his career's done, but F1 is a much less fun place without him about.

His interview where readers asked the questions in this month's F1 Racing magazine was a very good read. Having read the article it seems that Bild have just lifted what he said in F1 Racing word for word!!

Montoya is a D I C K HEAD. He couldn't make it in F1 and is now a whinger!!!!

He may not have noticed that F1 is an INDUSTRY dealing in Billions of Dollars. If a team doesn't take it seriously it wouldn't be there! Maybe he would rather the teams sack their thousands of staff and run go-karts instead!

He really should just stop complaining, we all know he dosen't like McLaren and they don't like him either. But, he should just stop complaining and get on with racing in Nascar. It might be better than F1 but us fans like F1 and if we want to change to Nascar then we will, but we can make that decision, we dont need someone who was forced from F1 to make that decision for us!

Montoya was one of the few drivers to speak his mind in F1 and was unstoppable on his day, He was also one the few on the grid who has spun out on the warm up of a grand prix in their time. Just goes to show their really is a fine line between genius and stupidity.
